Who’s gd white baby is that?!?


Why did my dark zz want to lighten up? Is it too much light? I have it under a grow light because it’s in a rather dark corner. Is this normal for it to have different colored stalks? I like the darker leaves! Not that I won’t love this new stalk as it were my own but…

    Title gave me a good chuckle lol. Pretty sure they start lighter and darken with age, it will match the whole plant, eventually. So no worries here!

    Lol new growth is always lighter, it’ll darken up with time

    The Bright Green is new growth, it’ll darken as it matures

    This shocked me the first time my raven ZZ grew a new shoot as well. Rest assured it will change to black over time!

    lol they grow in light. It takes forever for them to darken up (and grow actually) my zz tries my patience lol

    My favorite thing about Raven ZZs! I love their bright green new growth against the black mature leaves. They’ll darken as they harden off.

    Fresh leaves will be that bright green and will slowly transition to darker. No need for the grow light! This ZZ specifically does well with lower light/“shade.”
